I forgot where I read it, but it was something about 'normalizing normal/slightly ugly/normal kitchens' and that resonated with me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we moved into our house, my original thought was "I absolutely love the house, but maybe we'll redo the kitchen in 5 years to be all white" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why though? Because everyone else is doing that and it's 'cool'? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After having lived in our house for 6+ months, now the most I have dreams of doing is maybe to redo the laminate countertops that are peeling in some places. Maybe. One day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But this isn't some before/after post. It's just a post about saying your kitchen/home is fine the way it is, and if you don't have some pinterest board or desire to change your entire kitchen, that's a-ok. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE looking at beautiful kitchens and spaces, so I'll just continue adding pretty images to my weekly love-lists and leaving it there - for looking at pretty things vs. wishing to change my house or feeling bad about my kitchen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Personally, I love my house. It feels homey and welcoming, and that's the vibe I'm going to keep going with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Weekly love list on the blog, not kitchen related, but you can read it with a cup of coffee from whatever kitchen you’re in ?? https://sweetphi.com/love-list-29/ ? @cassierosch ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #normalizenormal #kitchens #reallife #reallifeandstyle #home #momlife #workingmom #sweetphiblog #momblogger #allarewelcome #coffeebreak #oakkitchen #oakcabinets

Buffalo cauliflower nuggets? Do they taste weird? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The answer is NO! This is one of the best vegetarian appetizers!
